MARY A. BI~CKERDYKE. in riotous living,
breaking open the stores and rifling the re-
fyigerators and pantries of the delicacies that
were furnished by the sanitary commission
for the sick. Mother Bickerdyke stood this
for two or three weeks and then appealed to
Ulysses S. Grant, then colonel of the Twenty
first Illinois volunteers, to whom she. pre-
ferred charges against the surgeons. Grant
was astounded. With a determination to
make certain Of the situation he put on citi-
zen's clothes one evening and went down to
the hospital, where he saw enough to confirm
the worst statements that had been made to
him by the faithful nurse. There was prompt
action the next day. The surgeons were dis
missed and the hospital was r~eorganized.
From that time Mother Bickerdyke always
had access to Grant, and her recommends
tions were generally carried out. As he rose
in position in the army her power in the hos'
pitfalls BECAME greater and greater, until she
overshadowed all with whom she came in
contact. She remained in the volunteer nurse
service until the close of the war. If she
could be induced to write her experiences
they would prove as interesting as any chap
ters of the great rebellion"
A volume might be added to the captains
brief story of Mother Bickerdyke's army
work. What many old soldiers, who were
the recipients of her kind services in their day
of misfortune, would like to know is: what
has become Of Mother Bickerdyke since the
war? 1t would be q hard task to follow her,
SO unostentatiously has her work been car
ried on, but she has been engaged in philan-
thropic work until she has become too feeble
to help others than herself. Her marvellous
ability was called upon during the Chicago
fire, and since then through suffering occa-
stoned by the grasshopper plaques, ~droughts,
forest fires and other public calamities. She
brought carloads of seeds and food from the
east to suffering Kansas on several occasions.
In the intervals she has maintained herself
by acting as matron, nurse and housekeeper
in charitable institutions.
The soldiers of the west proposed to tax
themselves ten cents a year to maintain her
above want, but she refused to accept the
money. For eighteen years there was an APP
plication for a pension for her pigeon holed
in Washington, but last year 1t was granted,
allowing her $25 a month. Now, at the age
Of IA, she earns the balance OF her living in
the San Francisco mint, her home being at
22244 Mission street. TO an acquaintance she
said not long go: "Good-byl ! shall be
mustered out before long and shall not see
you here again. But we shall find one another

sANDEMANIAN CHURCH, D%ANBuRY, CT.
In the old cemetery at Danbury, Conn, rests
the bones of Robert Sandman, one OF the
founders of the sect called Sandemanians, and
in the same tow is the only meeting house Of
these people on this continent. The ~illustra-
ton given is from a photograph and gives an
excellent idea of the appearance of this church
which is in size 25x30 feet. Here assemble
every Sunday a faithful band of ten people
who comprise the descendants of the followers
of Sandman who settled here in 1864. So
that this sect was in existence when the Wes-
leyans and Baptists were almost unknown.
In England there are yet n few congrega-
tons of this sect. One of their chapels was
located in st. Pauls alley, London. and it
was here that the great scientific philosopher,
Michael Faraday worshiped. He who could
fill the largest hall in all London with learned
men from all parts of the world to hear his
lectures, would on Sunday walk to this chapel
regularly and engage in the services with the
two dozen members q
One of the peculiarities of the Sandemanian
form of worship is. that they have a weekly
love feast in which the whole congregation
dine together. 1t was the original intention
to have this take place iii the churches, where
a dining room was provided, but in Danbury
they find it more convenient to have this din
ner served at the house Of one of the men,
bers. Here they also pray and sing, and the
kiss OF brotherhood passes between the mem
beers of both sexes. From this custom they
have been vulgarly called "Kissites."
Their rules prohibit games of. chance,
prayers at funerals, college training as well
as most Nineteenth century innovations, while
IN food they are forbidden to use flesh meat
and "ail things strangled.D

Fate of Ex-Ballet Dancers.

Here let me remark that there is no other
class Of artists in the world that so soon lose
every gift and grace of their profession as do
the ex-ballet dancers. / have seen aged sing
ers whose method still lent their singing a
potent charm when the voice itself had well
nigh wholly departed, and elderly actors and
actresses that preserved when reading or re-
citing the grand art of their prime. But the
famous dancer ought to die, like the butter
flies, when the summer day of her grace and
youth are at an end. Some months ago

In n respect particularly is Canada's adj
vantage very clear. The Canadian Pacific
railway, while it is built sufficiently near
the boundary to be available as n means of
transport for troops, ammunition, supplies,
etc, is nevertheless far enough away to be
safe from the depredations of m~aravding
bands of United States troops. Forces might,
for instance, be landed from England at
Halifax, Nova Scotia, and thence whirled at
a rapid rate to the points where they might
be needed most.
The Canada Pacific railroad was built by
government aid, and there is no doubt that
this aid was given for the reason that Eng
land appreciated how valuable the road
would be, in case of trouble nth tie United
States. as a mean Of communication with
its various dependencies. Thus while af-
fording a means of transport for her troops,
it would also furnish an uninterrupted postal
service. It was possibly a prophetic omen of
the future imperial Importance of this rail-
way, that the first loaded train that passed
over its entire length from ocean to oeean was
freighted with naval stores, belonging to the
imperial war department, being transferred
from Quebec to Vancouver. 1t was also a
remarkable commercial coincidence that the
first cargo OF merchandise consigned to Brit
ish Columbia was a cargo of jamaica sugar,
refined in Halifax and sent to the Pacific ter
minus, about 1000 miles under the British

FORT WAYNE, R
OF all the American lake cities perhaps no
one occupies so vulnerable a position, while
at the same time atfording so convenient an
entry for foreign troops, as Detroit. This
city, therefore. would be the great objective
point In case Of war with Canada, and a
glance at the map above will show how easily
1t could be reached by rail. The question
which naturally presents itself to the mind
of the reader is: HAS Detroit sufficient
Notifications to successfully withstand a
well organized attackm Most enphatically
1t has not.
Detroit IS protected by Fort Wayne, which
Is said to be the strongest American fortifica-
ton on the upper lakes.
The fort is situated about three miles below
the city, and is at present occupied by Col.
II. NJ. Black and four companies OF the
T~wenty-third United States infantry, con-
sisting of ITO men, with those at ~neighboring
fortresses upon whom he could call at a mo-
ment's notice. While Fort Wayne is appar-
entity in excellent condition, stillit usefulness,
IL put to a practical test, has always been
questioned by many. Its parapets are Of
brick filled in with dirt and the whole sur
rounded by a wide ditch. Its equipment is
scarcely worth mentioning, consisting az 1t
does OF platforms for sixty guns with noguns
upon them.) III only pieces of artillery at
present within the fort are six pieces OF
brightly polished brass, which are located on
the parade ground. They are very pretty,
but of comparatively no value, as they are
all underground Napoleon guns.

MOTHER BIcKERDYKE.p
The Famous Hospital Nurse of the civ

The Famous Hospital Nurse of the Civil
War.
"Why don't you write something about
Mother Bickcrdykep" was an inquiry put to
q New York reporter by an old army captain
recently. This resulted in an inquiry as to
who mother Bickerdye' might be. Said
the captain: "There are few soldiers who
served in the western army who have not
heard of or known Mother Bickerdyke. In
the early months of the war she was the only
woman nurse in The large hospital at Cairo,
